Disc brake pads

[bazzawill]

So I just noticed my TRP HY/RD Disc brakes need new pads. Just curious if anybody recomends any particular pads. I have found the stock pads to be acceptable just curious on other options though

I like this setup. https://www.discobrakes.com/ They're very honest on the website about what pads for what purposes. Good accessorises too. I have sintered pads and a disc from them for what started as a 2nd hand Promax 600 and I stop properly now instead of just losing momentum.

These are what I use on all my bike from the Vendetta to the DH mtb https://www.truckerco.com/_p/prd1/978875214/product/shimano-deore-tektro-metallic-sintered

Shipping to Australia is not unreasonable so looks like it's a winner unless somebody has any suggestions locally, although it would be unwise to go against Jason when it comes to brakes / descending

Is the cost more then getting shimano sintered metallic pads locally? The idea is to try sintered metallic to see if you like them better than the organic pads you just wore out. SM pads will last 5 times longer and have a stronger initial bit at the cost of being noisy when wet. But honestly I've had Organic pads that are twice as loud as SM and SM that are dead silent so there's more to it then blaming the pads compound.
